    I like the idea of renaming it ‘Explorers’ Day’…

    As a kid, I was so happy to have a day off from school, that I would gladly sing about anyone crossing the ‘ocean blue’ and make pilgrim hats all day. But as an adult, this holiday doesn’t sit well with me. I’m glad my college doesn’t give us the day off for an event not worth celebrating. Great post!
    Right on, Racialicious Team!
